Synopsis:
Lily had a crush on her brother's best friend, Derek for years - which led to their steamy night ten months ago in her bedroom. Now, Lily is going off to college and she and Derek are still going strong. However, when school starts, she realizes it's hard to maintain a relationship while also trying to live her own life. She and Derek find themselves falling apart and Lily has no idea where to turn.
Enter Jack. Everything about him is wrong for Lily and she knows it, but she can't stop herself from being attracted to him. When things implode with Derek, it's Jack who is there to pick up the pieces - and show Lily an entirely new set of experiences she didn't know she was missing.
Of course, Jack has his own problems and once Lily gets to know him better, she starts to wonder if she can handle all of Jack. When Derek reappears on the scene, Lily is forced to decide between two guys and herself. Can she find herself without losing the people who matter in the process?

Review:
What an absolutely amazing book. It only took me two days to read the entire book. I have never ever connected with a specific character the way I connected with Lily. She is literally the girl I was when I met my current boyfriend. Clearly there are some differences but he and I went through the same struggles in the beginning that Lily finds herself facing towards the end of her and Derek's relationship. I never met a Jack but I whole heartedly fell in love with his character and the way he fit into Lily's life.
This book is pure, raw emotion mixed with all-to-real relationship trials. This book punches you in the face with how sexy it is, too! Sarah leaves nothing out and paints the most vivid picture imaginable. Some of the language is definitely not what I was used to reading and it's very in you face, brutally blunt but without it, Forget Me Not would not be the masterpiece that it is. A truly great read!
